1) I've read that you can do air vs air, sea vs sea, etc or mix. So can you have three players on one side each controlling each type at once so its a 3 vs 3 game?
Sure, if that's what you fancy doing.
2) Is there the potential as well to use this as a sort of "Mighty Empires" game whereby you can use the world map to identify which areas you control and then build these areas up to provide resources/bonuses to build bigger armies? Thus turning it into an epic campaign game as well as a simple single conflict game.
Not in the initial rule book. We're looking at a bigger campaign system.
3) Is it all about machines and vehicles or will there be infantry and such? Or will these elements be handled by game mechanics rather than miniatures?
The idea of infantry at this scale is an interesting one. At this scale minis would be almost invisible so they are viewed as a mechanic. But that doesn’t mean we will not look to embrace infantry in a greater way. I talked a few days ago about the idea of a PDF download with more infantry-based rules. But I don’t have much more to give you than that right now.
4) I also read that the first releases will be naval. Does this mean that land-based armies will not be available for some time yet?
You’ll get that answer over the next two weeks.
5) Will there be different rules for different sorts of weaponry or will it use the same mechanic as FSA whereby all different weapons are basically just AD.... whether its lasers, ballistic, etc.... ?
The mechanic is AD, but how those AD impact models depends on what generates them, be it Ballistic, Tesla weapons, Generators, Ack Ack, Concussion Charges, Torpedoes, Rockets, Boarding Parties and so on.
6) How many models is it anticipated that a player will need for an effective army? Is this a game whereby LOADS of mini's are required?
You can play a game with a Battle Group (which is 15 models plus fighter tokens) or you could put a lot more on the table. Your call....
